All the bodies of the missing from inside the fatal yacht, which sank just outside the port of Porticello, Palermo.
The 6th body belongs to Mike Lynch’s daughter, 18-year-old Hannah. The total number of dead from the wreck now stands at 7.
The other bodies recovered belong to Morgan Stanley International chairman Jonathan Bloomer, Bloomer’s wife Judy, Leeds US attorney and Clifford Chance New York partner Chris Morvillo and his wife Nedda, a New York jewelry designer .
It is recalled that the yacht’s chef, Ricardo Thomas, was found dead a few hours after the yacht sank.
The boat is “unsinkable”.
According to the CEO of the company that builds and sells the yachts in question, boats like the Bayesian are “unsinkable”.
In particular, Giovanni Costantino told skynews that their structure and keel make them “unsinkable bodies”.
About the incident he says that “it sounds like an incredible story, both technically and as a fact”
“Everything that has been done reveals a very long list of mistakes. People were not supposed to be in the cabins, the boat was not supposed to be at anchor. The passengers reported something absurd, namely that the storm arrived unexpectedly, out of nowhere. This is not true. Everything was predictable. I have the weather maps right here in front of me. Nothing came suddenly. They ended up like mice”, said the businessman.
“And as Perini is a sailing ship…sailing ships are renowned to be the safest ever».

The “black swan” phenomenon
A rare weather phenomenon is likely to blame for the wreck. British researchers talk about the “black swan” phenomenon, i.e. the occurrence of an extreme event with great power in a very short period of time with completely unpredictable results.
“Looking at the extreme weather conditions, if we are talking about a hydro-turbine, which it appears to be, I would consider it a manifestation of the ‘black swan’ phenomenon. So we have this high impact, but low probability event. And even outside of the shipping industry, all industries face the “black swan” scenario at some point. How much readiness do we have? How much planning has been done? How much risk are we willing to take?” said the head of maritime search and rescue.
For more than three hours the Italian authorities interrogated the captain of the boat today to gain a more complete picture of the causes of the tragedy.
